On a Reef to the east of Portland he landed a 4Ib 12oz Spotted Ray and then a 10Ib 2oz Bull Huss.Then while fishing on a Bank to the east of Weymouth he landed a 17Ib 15oz Undulate Ray to complete the trio of Personal Bests. All the fish were returned alive. Andy was using 20Ib class tackle and the successful bait was a cocktail of Ammo squid and mackerel mounted on a Pennell rig of Sakuma 6/0 and 4/0 hooks.

    Report on-board Mistress

    Even given the small tides here at Whitby this weekend, we still produced the good for our anglers here on Mistress.

    On saturday we had Preston Sea Angling Club with us, it was a slow start due to the tide taking its time getting going, but once it did with a few moves we found some steady sport. losing a few to a stealthy seal we never saw!
    Nothing massive landed, the biggest went around 7lb 8oz for Nigel.
    In total we took 30 codlings for the day. plus plenty of pouting and whiting.

    the best bait was worm and squid, this combo has by far been the most consistent this winter!

    Monday we sailed again with only 4 lads onboard booked in at last minute,
    We headed the other direction and caught the last of the ebb tide, getting straight into the fish.
    we lost one to a seal that must have been sat under the boat! the lad with the net got a bit of a fright!
    Again steady fishing produced over 30 cod for the lads, the best angler taking 14 cod.

    We got a surprise Doggy, we dont get many off our shores so always welcome. pleanty fo pouting and whitings too.

    best bait again worm and squid.

    Pictured is Matt Breen from York with a nice brace of Cod caught on Monday, well done mate, we can always count on you to whistle a few out!

    Report on-board Flamer IV

    January 2014 - The first trip of 2014 was spent anchored on Reef s and Banks and produced 10 different species which were Conger Eel,Undulate Ray,Blonde Ray,Small Eyed Ray,Bull Huss ,Spotted Ray. Whiting,Pouting,Dogfish and Poor Cod. The Best Blonde Ray was caught by Paul Cross from Kent which was his Personal Best Blonde weighing 21Ib(pictured). Andy Collings broke two of his Personal Bests with a 10Ib 2oz Bull Huss and a 4Ib 12oz Spotted Ray.There were numerous Congers caught up to 25Ib.The water was very coloured so pennel rigs loaded with Ammo Squid and Mackerel cocktails bait did the trick for all the fish. The fishing was certainly active on the Reefs and Banks for the time of year.
    Hopefully we will get some settled weather which will also enable us to get out after the Big Pollack on the wrecks.

    DON'T MISS OUT BOOK YOUR PLACE/S - TRIPS.

    Report on-board Mistress

    I got a phone call late the other night asking if i was fishing the next morning, i had no plans so said id take the lads from Hull.

    It started out quite slow, with is taking around 10 fish on the last of the flood, but with the tides being smaller than usual i had a different plan today to fish a few spots i hadnt visited for a while.

    we had to wait till mid morning till the tide came right for us.

    A short move and a bit of jiggery pokery with the anchor saw a flurry of better fish aboard for us. including a belter for young Alex taking the scales to just under double figures a nice 9lb 12oz Cod!

    as the tide changed in this spot we moved again taking a flurry of nice fish, the stamp of fish was certainly a lot better than of late with many fish between 4lb and 6lb.

    not as many fish as we have been catching lately but we finished up with 30 odd Cod for the day, the best angler taking 15.

    The lads with a few of their fish
